About the Redwood Tango Ensemble
Redwood Tango Ensemble is a leading North American sextet dedicated to contemporary tango music. Known for visceral and powerful stage performances and innovative original music, Redwood Tango Ensemble is a singular voice within the new generation of cutting edge tango composition and future-driven chamber music in North America.
Led by composer and bandoneonist Charles Gorczynski, the ensemble brings a highly imaginative and physical style of writing that bends conventional notions of genre and musical identity. Redwood is a tango group in its lifeblood and technique, distinct for their reach into new music and modern chamber music.
“Bandoneonist and composer Charles Gorczynski, along with Redwood Tango Ensemble, are forging a distinctly new idiom of American tango music.” - Morgan Luker, author of The Tango Machine, program director Tango For Musicians Reed College
Redwood Tango Ensemble has debuted compositions with Chamber Music Northwest Festival in Portland, with San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music, and performed on concert bills with Kronos Quartet, Friction Quartet, Tango Sin Fin, Diego Schissi, and many others.
RTE was the featured orchestra for Chicago Tango Week 2013 and 2015, and has performed for milongas in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Montreal, NYC, and dozens of cities in between.
The group is an institution in the Bay Area tango scene with over 100 performances each year, and tours the US and Canada annually. RTE’s debut album Unison (Euclid Music 2015) garnered significant critical acclaim, and their upcoming album Prizefighter will be released with Buenos Aires based imprint Ears&Eyes Records.
Musicians for Prizefighter Tour 2018—Redwood Trio
Charles Gorczynski (bandoneón)
Bandoneonist and leader of the acclaimed bay area sextet Redwood Tango Ensemble, Charles Gorczynski composes music without stylistic restrictions, fundamentally centered in tango with influences in modern jazz and contemporary chamber music. He has toured extensively in North America and Italy, including performances in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Montreal, New York, Pisa, and Rome. Redwood Tango Ensemble was the featured orchestra for Chicago Tango Week 2013 and 2015, and has shared concert bills with Kronos Quartet, Del Sol Quartet, Rob Reich Quintet, and members of Tango Sin Fin. Charles was a guest bandoneonist with the California Symphony and San Jose Chamber Orchestra, toured as bandoneonist with the Argentine ensembles Tango BC Trío, Mariano Barreiro Tango Trio, Alejandro Ziegler Quartet, and premiered his own works with the Chamber Music Northwest Summer Festival in Portland. His compositions and collaborative works have been released with the record labels 482 Music, Serein, Ropeadope Records, and Front Forty Press.
Mia Bella D’Augelli (violin)
Mia Bella D’Augelli is a tanguero violinist based in Oakland, California. She plays solo in various settings – falling in and out of notation – and is a member of the Town Quartet (a traditional string quartet) and the Redwood Tango Ensemble (a group for milongas and new tango chamber music). Mia Bella plays with chamber ensembles, symphonies, pit orchestras, and pop groups, including as interim assistant concertmaster with the North State Symphony, and as assistant principal 2nd violin with Livermore Valley Opera. She has worked closely with composers of today such as David Behrman, Ian Carey, Brett Carson, Andrew Jamieson, George Lewis, Mateo Lugo, Roscoe Mitchell, Aaron Novik, and Lewis Patzner. Her collaborations often include venues that are not a concert hall, from art galleries to bars and living rooms. Mia Bella also composes and works to explore sound from many vantage points through improvisation. Studying with Gloria Justen, she received a BA in Music Performance from Mills College in 2014. In the chamber music arena, she worked with Joan Jeanrenaud, William Winant, and Robert Schwartz, while improvisation studies ensued with Roscoe Mitchell and Fred Frith.
Elyse Weakley (piano)
Pianist Elyse Weakley has played a central role in Redwood Tango Ensemble for the last two years, playing for hundreds of milongas, tango festivals, and concerts. She has studied not only the orchestras of the golden age but also contemporary tango, playing the music of Julian Peralta, Daniel Ruggiero, Diego Schissi, and played a strong role in developing the original music of Redwood Tango Ensemble. Elyse has studied tango piano with Hernan Possetti, as well as completed a Masters of Music in Piano Performance at the University of North Carolina. Elyse has also worked closely with composer George Hurd and the Hurd Ensemble, performing for the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Switchboard Presents at the Center for New Music, and releasing music with Innova Recordings. Elyse has been a featured soloist with the Lucas Valley Chamber Orchestra and the Atlantic Music Festival in Maine. As an internationally accomplished musician, Elyse has toured China and Taiwan, and performed at Sydney Opera House, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Town Hall, and the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels.
The main focus of the ensemble has always been the dance floor, and as a result they are one of the most in-demand groups not only in the Bay Area but the North American Tango scene.
